Hi Michael and friends

(imported in rhino )
with turned out different; welcome every your comment

Hi Al,
They look hungry for that disk :)
Just one thing on the hypershot render, you could bump up the shadow setting to get rid of the jaggy shadows and maybe a bit on the gamma to get it looking brighter, otherwise nice looking models.

I was going to like the Hypershot render the best because the shadowing was more intricate, but after looking a bit was starting to figure it was less "Accurate". Would love to see the render with the different settings Danny is talking about as Hypershot is on my list as renderer I would like to get. (Could just be because I'm so Envious of the kodak render. My stuff would still look like childs play!)

Hi Al. Actually i prefer the Vray image best, although i think the shadows are too hard. Looks like you are using a spotlight from nearly same direction as the camera? Spotlights have a tendency to blow out your image and give too hard shadows. So i would try with a rectangular light (or can VRay produce soft shadows from a spotlight?). And also move the light or camera position so both are not coming from same direction. Because you will not have nice shadows in the current setup, everything looks flat. You might try setting up the light and camera to be approx 120 degrees from each other (gives a little bit of backlighting effect), plus HDRI can give you a very quick and nice setup using just one light. I do this for quick shadow studies...

Hi Michael and Friends
As Jonah writes and suggests
I have tried to improve the quality of Render in Vray, being inserted Lights and an Environment
they are still a beginner and this is the final result
what of it you say?
